[Q] Can't Install ROM's - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried to install [ROM][N7105] AOKP JB 4.2.1 [PUB] [FeB - 5] & the Nightly's on my 7105. It soft bricks every time. It tries to reboot after installing the roms and then flickers twice or so and goes black and has no more activity till I take the battery out and put it back. I have to install the stock rom through Odin to get it going again. I always do a factory reset & wipe cache before I install. What might I do to run custom roms? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi. I have the same problem on my N7100. I could not install any custom rom. Tried CM 10.1 + gapps ( full wipe and cache wipe before install ) after install and reboot system screen flicks 2 times and goes black without any response. Must return to stock via Odin . Tried several times... result is the same. Before Note 2 used S3 and never had such problems with installing CM10.1. Hope someone will help.

I used my Note i717 and installed rom's on it all the issues as long as I didn't flash the wrong ones.

Any help?

I reckon these phones must be too new for us to get help.

My N2 screen flickers as well, just pressed the sleep button after awhile, and unlock it as usual via home screen.
Hope it works for you too

Your screen flickers after you install custom rom?

Almost every ROM I flash I have issues around booting. Some boot up how they should, but MOST don't...
I flash the rom and then I boot. The Samsung Note 2 screen shows but then flashes all crazy and stuff a couple times and then goes blank. I just wait a while and after a minute or so I start pressing the power button, and the screen will come up as it should on the lock screen or if its a brand new rom it will be at the set up screen.
What helps me to know when it has finished booting, is to connect the phone via USB to my Macbook, and when it is booted the mac will ask me to allow it access to the phone.
Just don't worry too much about it, coz it is ok and will work. Another way to see if it is finished booting is to wave your finger over the menu and back button, and it will light up when the phone has booted; you just have to keep trying to wake up the phone with button presses, but don't go crazy and keep pressing and/or holding buttons

Is there any custom ROM's for the Hong Kong version of the 7105 that I can try since the others won't boot?

[Q] WTH just happened?

I was flashing the newest cm10 as I do every few days. I flash that, then inverted apps, then kernel, then reboot and never had a problem. Now I am getting a blank screen after the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" splash with the button back-lights lit. Nothing else happens, no response. Never had an issue, but now I am worried. Any help here?
EDIT: I tried booting into recovery a few times with no success. Just tried it again and held all 3 buttons past the recovery flash on the top of the screen. Booted into that and re-flashed the update by itself. Phone just booted back up. Not sure what happened, but all is well in my s3 land again.
Usually not a good idea to flash a ROM and kernel at the same time. I know you said that that's the way you've been doing it buuuut....what happened to your phone is the symptom of your phone trying to match up a ROM and separate kernel at the same time, it got confused while booting lol. Best practice it ROM, gapps, reboot system let phone fully boot, reboot recovery and install kernel. Its an extra step but usually avoids what happened to you.
If your using ktoonsez kernel he has a special build for the latest nightly for people with the same problem as yours, it's not in the op, start from the end of the thread and work backwards.

[Q] Soft brick, neverending booting / boot loop. Am i doing this right?

Hi Guys.
So i flashed a few roms lately. started with EmotionMiUi then CM10, Omega, Alliance and well a few more.
i did a full wipe and cleared all caches each times and only had a few minor problems with the different ROMS that i was able to fix.
So i now returned to MiUi and have had it running for about a week. Tried some DPi modding yesterday, and did notice that it took longer time to boot and boot into recovery. i flashed the Xpose DPi remover, and continued using my phone. i have rebooted about 3 times today. And the last reboot caused the phone to enter the eternal "Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100" boot static "animation".
Now i have tried pulling the battery several times, tried booting into recovery and the only thing that will let me boot into anything is power + home + volume down.
i have obtained the official samsung firmware ROM for my phone.
is my way ahead to "just" flash it using Odin, and i will have my good times back ?
Maybe try to clear Data and Cache partitions first?

Just to clear you're stuck at the start screen( the screen it shows Note 2 and model number)?
If so, then i have no clue
If your phone goes in a bootloop ( startscreen then samsung logo animation, blank screen, start screen, samsung logo animation...) I have faced this issue while flashing Stock ROMs and you can clear this by doing a factory reset though i have no clue whether this is the correct one for MIUI ROM.

i was stuck at the very first startscreen that just stayed there. i had been messing around with some DPi and a lot of tweaks.
i used Odin from my PC to flash the official firmware, then i used Philz recovery to format and clean before flashing my MiUi V5 ROM.
ALL works great.

[Q] Phone is going nuts!!! Help!! PLEASE!!!

Ok so, I have been running Hyperdrive RLS16 for quite sometime now with no issues, going on approx 6 months now. Love the rom. Just today out of nowhere my phone started timing out. By timing out I mean, screen started going black as if I was closing it when I was in the middle of using it. This proceeded to happen for at least 15 minutes meanwhile it was constantly rebooting itself as well. After about 15 mins of reboots and screen timeouts, it got to where the phone would not stay on. it would boot up, then when i started using it it would reboot again. So after a battery pull, sd card pull and sim card pull I restarted it and since it seems to be doing ok for the moment. I immediately backed up my rom in clockword mod recovery through rom manager, backed up all my apps and created an update.zip in titanium backup. I downloaded the stockmod slim rom t999 4.3 v3 and the uvuemj4 modem that it requires for data and was gunna try and flash it and everytime i boot into recovery and try to select an option to pick, it randomly starts selecting things and jumping all over the place and then reboots. wont let me wipe data factory reset, or wipe dalvick or cache. wont even let me choose the rom or modem to flash. I tried to update my version of clockwork mod, and nothing. Tried to download goo manager and try twrp but it wont go into twrp it stays in clockwork mod and does the same. Im so confused on what to do to fix this and would like to flash a new rom to see if it will fix my screen timeouts and reboots but I cant get recovery to cooperate in order to do that. Can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!! I thought maybe if i try clockwork mod touch that it may fix the problem, but even if i download it how can i flash it if recovery isint cooperating?:crying::crying::crying:

It sounds like there would be a problem with your digitizer. Or motherboard. Either way it sounds expensive to fix.

The touch response is working fine though, and the buttons work fine. But it randomly scrolls all over the place in recovery and selects things on its own even when Im just holding it in my hand pressing nothing. I have the regular clockwork mod recovery not the touch installed. I have to scroll with the volume buttons and select with the power button. But even when im not pressing either it just goes in ghost mode and starts selecting stuff. Its crazy!! Is there a problem with my version of recovery? 6.0.4.3

I don't use cwm so I wouldn't know. But your didgitizer could still act like its working fully and still be broken. Idk man.

ok well thanks man for your help. Would the digitizer be causing the random reboots as well?

If it's malfunctioning is possible. But there's no telling.

Can you boot download mode? Odin flash stock firmware. If it continues then it may be a hardware problem.
i havent tried to do that. But i did do a factory reset from my settings instead of through recovery. I did lose quite a bit of stuff because it deleted my backups in titanium and etc but my recovery is working now. No more ghost mode selecting everything. But my phone is still doing the random reboots

Earlier I too felt this type of auto touch in my other device and I figured out that this was happening due to some radio interference at some particular time and particular place which was near a radio station
Whenever I go away or that station time was over it will be working correctly
May be something like this happening just for your information to make sure

[Q] Weird boot problem...Help!! [Solved]

Edit #2
Ok so I downloaded stock firmware from sammobile...and that corrected my problem. So I started fresh, by first installing Philz touch cwm...which seems to work fine and I could still at that point boot up normally.
However, upon attempting to flash a couple of different custom Roms(Deleterious and RocketTab), I am left with the same issue ("Since then, when I reboot, it shows the samsung logo, then goes black. Sometimes if I hit the power button, suddenly the screen appears. Sometimes it doesn't.").
Am I missing something? I'm only trying roms that are specifically for the sm-t210r....I've tried using three different recoveries...and I've been flashing roms...tons...since my original galaxy s phone. Simple stuff. So what the heck is going on?
I want a custom rom...lol...grrr Do these roms just not have bootscreens and I'm just being paranoid?
-----------------------------------
Ok so I just got my tablet and started searching for root methods..
I may have gotten a little ahead of myself, and using odin, I used this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391367
Since then, when I reboot, it shows the samsung logo, then goes black. Sometimes if I hit the power button, suddenly the screen appears. Sometimes it doesn't.
I've tried a few different custom roms, using Philz cwm, and even tried using odin to flash a stock rom I found online(in an attempt to see if using odin would help.)
Same issue.
If it goes into the OS, it seems to run fine...but then more often than not when I reboot again the samsung logo appears, then black. Never to return.
I know it's not bricked but I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions would be great.
Im on sm-t210r..
EDIT:
Think this will work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
If so, how to I find the bootchain files for the sm-t210r? Or maybe the PIT? (from the second post...sounds more like my problem..)
Nevermind...apparently it was a kernel issue..

Stuck in bootloop can't power to recovery or Odin.

Hello all, as the title states. my Note 2 is stuck in a bootloop. Originally I had the Liquid smooth ROM flashed, I have been running this ROM for several months with no issue. Yesterday I tried to flash the Blissstalk ROM using the usual method: TWRP 2.8.5 > Full wipe > Flash Blissstalk > Wipe dalvik/cache again > Reboot system. Phone loaded up fine went through setup and installing apps fine. I put my phone on charge last night and woke up this morning to it stuck on the Bliss bootscreen. I pulled the battery and tried to boot to recovery (Vol up + home + power) instead of loading recovery my phone went straight to the bootscreen. Tried 3 more times and then 3 times to get it to boot to Odin. Nothing happens other than it goes straight to the bootscreen and gets stuck. Not sure what to do now and looking for a way to, if nothing else, return it to stock so I can start fresh.
Did you try the 3 button combo with no battery and then install the battery with the 3 buttons still pushed? It may sound crazy, and it's tricky too, but I'm hoping that you haven't tried that as to it may be the fix you're looking for.
Make sure you press the vol up+power+home key and keep it pressed until you see the Samsung logo appear. Your switch might be a but loose
